To all whom it may concern: i tached the rocker 20, and a table 21 disposed 13e it known that I, Moses W. GARDEN, a `in a substantially horizontal nosition and citizen of the United States of America, re* designed to slide between guide bars 22 and siding at Opelika, iii the county of Lee and 23 of which the former may constitute the 60 State of Alabama, have invented new and side bar of the chair seat 24. The table 2l useful Improvements in Chair Operated is preferably divided to form an intermehlllnS, 0f Which the following is a specifi diate longitudinal slot 24 between which and cation. i secured to the guide bars 22 and 23 is ar- The object of the invention is to provide ranged ablock 25. 65 a c air operated churn or more particularly t their inner ends the elements of the a churn operating chair equipped with nor` table are connected by a stop bar 26 designed mally inconspicuous means for supporting when the auxiliary rocker is extended as a o um in proper position to provide for the shown inFig-` l ,to engage' the lower. guide bar operation of churning with reference thereto 23 and thus limit the outward movement of 70 y the rocking movement of the Chair and the said auxiliary rocker while permitting adapted under normal conditions to erform t e inner extremities of the elements of the t e usual functions of a rocking chair, to table to extend under the chair bottom and the end that the one article of furniture may afford a substantial brace for the structure.

It Will also be understood that when the churn is not in use and the body is removed from the rest aorded by the auxiliary rocker the latter may be folded by sliding it transversely of the mai chair seat so as to arrange the standards 19 thereof in closed relation with the adjacent seat frame and rocker of the chair.

What is claimed is:

1. A rocking chair having an auxiliary rocker supported extension mounted for sliding movement thereon and provided with a table or rest for a ehurnbody, said rocker element being provided at its outer end with means for preventing outward displacement ot a churn body with reference to the rest, and a movable locking element mounted upon the chair for overlapping engagementA with a churn body arranged upon said seat for holding the latter in position thereon.

l 2. A rocking chair having a laterally movable arm rest and means for securing the same in its normal position, and an an);- iliary rocker element mounted for sliding movement upon the frame of the chair at the side adjacent to said movable arm rest and consisting of a churn seat and a terminal rocker support, said arm rest having a projecting element tor overlapping the top of a churn body mounted upon said seat to hold the same in position thereon.

3. A rocking chair having a pivotal arm rest, means for limiting the swinging movement of the free end of said rest, means ior locking said rest in its normal position7 and a laterally extensible auxiliary rocker mounted upon the chair frame and provided with a churn seat and a terminal rocker element for supporting the same, the pivotal arm rest being adapted when in its normal position to engage and hold a churn body arranged upon said seat.
